You make animation seem so interesting. I don't even have flash, but I watch your tutorials anyway.

[@ImSandwich]

Fuff Can you watch my friend's newest video? He worked really hard on it and he doesnt even have that many views...I feel like he really deserves people to watch his video. And the video is really good btw. His name is Zz Blast on KZbin

[@crawdad4540]

same

[@Corny-ju3bu]

Me too

i'm using blender for 3D animation but many of the tips in this channel translates very well thanks

Hey Alan Can You Do A Turtorial About Sound Effects!!

I think he already did... here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXrZf6OwerqEb9U

Well thats what makes it special

[@marinesciencedude]

6:25 Watching giant pixelated stick figures smashing vector stick figures on the ground while listening to that music is really hilarious.

[@marinesciencedude]

I also find how not everything is drawn if the camera isn't on it interesting: a bit like Prison Architect's 'Fog of War' but with stuff seen if the camera already saw it (a bit like World of Tanks when you spot an enemy).

this video was a great help for me alan , thankyou very much , please make a video on how you created so much different path for the arrows which was in your series. Cant we just creeate 1 arrow as a symbol and by doing just 1 animation , all arrows get animated

[@ImHer0]

OMG i was looking thru your channel today to check videos hours later NEW VID!

[@adeaddeity7265]

“Give everything a proper name” Me when I’m doing a big digital art project bc I feel like it: **sweats in I name them well but I still go through the layers bc I’m stupid enough to forget what each layer has**

[@freshlysqueezedorangejuice2959]

Oh my gosh you took a screenshot of every KZbin thumbnail. Goodness man gud job! Wow!!

[@Nathidraws]

I watch your tutorial videos so I can get an idea of how you do your animations. You really do inspire me and I really enjoy animating, its kinda my hobby now. Btw, thanks for the tutorials.

[@THEFIRSTCRAZYGAMER]

Great tutorial, a lot of information! I havent thought of making it easy to change later. Sometimes I try to make a face or a stick figure just one symbol, and I dont convert the arms in other characters, I just convert the whole character to a symbol.

[@user-wo3vb6jd8r]

[@AhmedAhmed-vg1cn]

the only one I know is the profile photo: he probably just went to Microsoft paint, filled the background with black, drew a fire, zoomed in and put his cursor in the fire then screenshotted it!

[@Vleaso]

Microsoft paint makes the lines you draw blurry. He uses photoshop to make his profile photo. He even showed a video where he made a pixelated minecraft block in photoshop.

[@ayudrs]

What do you do when flash gets really laggy? Some of my animations starts slowing down and it becomes harder to work on them. An answer would be great!

[@thetankwargunner]

Is the a computer hardware issue? Maybe getting a better computer.

[@ayudrs]

@@thetankwargunner I think that might have been the case. I feel like I figured out the answer before, but it was so long ago that I've kinda forgotten.

[@thetankwargunner]

@@ayudrs Oh dang yeah I know right nobody replied to your comment in like 5 years. Are you still having problems with it?

[@gooj6682]

How would you suggest applying these rules to a piece of soft like FireAlpaca, where instead of keyframes & tweens, each folder in the project is a separate frame? I often end up having to copy paste non-moving things (like backgrounds).

[@aaaaaaa9669]

"Make it easy" says the guy that evolved stick figure animation multiple times

[@UltimatePerfection]

Have you tried Krita to animate stuff? It's a classic animation software so you'd need to draw each frame separately (no tweening), but it originated as a digital painting software so you can get very good results if you're really dedicated, especially when it comes to shading.
